EARLIER "PHOTOCOPY" WAS KNOWN AS "XEROX"

'Xerox' was changed to 'Photocopy'



Salman Khan's new song "Photocopy" from the movie "Jai Ho" has been getting positive response. The lyrics and the music of the song have caught on to the fancy of audiences. But, no one knows that the song was changed at the end moment.

Earlier, the song had the brand name Xerox fixed in a line instead of the word photocopy, which is in the final edit of the song. The makers of the movie also asked for permission from the required authority to use the word in the song. But it was a long process to get the required permissions and formalities in place. That is when the makers decided to create the word photocopy instead.

According to the sources, the makers strongly wanted to use Xerox, as the word has more of a recall value. However, the lengthy process kept them at bay.

However, they are happy with the way the song has turned out and are glad that the audiences have liked it.

In the "Dabangg" series there have been songs which had brand names like 'Jhandu Baam' and 'Fevicol'.

When contacted Sohail Khan, he confirmed the news and said, "Earlier the word Xerox was decided to be used in the song but getting permission to use the brand name would be very time consuming so we stuck to photocopy and I'm glad the song has got very good response from the audiences."
